Catholic AnswerSeveral years ago, Time Magazine published an article on the comparative religions of the world, putting Buddhism in that list. In the next several weeks, they ended up publishing several letters from Buddhists who carefully explained that Buddhism was NOT a religion. Catholicism, on the other hand, is a revealed religion, it is the fulfillment of Judaism, and has been revealed by God, in person, in Our Blessed Lord. Buddhism is a view on how to live a settled life with yourself, it does not address God, creation, etc. In other words, it is a philosophy, not a religion. Catholicism contains a philosophy based on reality (see the works of St. Thomas Aquinas), but their view of reality are radically different than Buddhists.What_are_similarities_between_Buddhism_and_CatholicismThis is a complex question.
